Halls of the stone tower in the foothills
Cmaj7                                Gmaj7
Why should we hide from anyone?

Held you in my arms for the first time that day
Cmaj7                                            Gmaj7
Felt like God's anointed when you didn't push me away

Lean on the concrete walls in shadow
Why should we wait to throw the switch?
Bm             D                           E
Felt your name burning like a tattoo into my skin
Cmaj7                                            Gmaj7
Rain on the clay tiles all night, your head nestled beneath my chin

In the lost age

Where the jewels hide

In the waiting stone
Am
Still warm

Verse 3:
Bm             D                           E
Small chambers shrinking 'till they vanish
Cmaj7                                Gmaj7
Wolves in the hallway gaining ground
Bm             D                           E
Reach down to the moment when I should have said something true
Cmaj7                                            Gmaj7
Shadows and their sources now stealing away with you

Gold light shining on so many things
Gmaj7   Bm
In the age of kings
Bm            D               C
Gold light shining on so many things
Gmaj7    Bm
In the age of kings
